Help us raise $3,000 to restore our doors! Show your support for local history during Mohawk Valley Gives on Wednesday, September 20, 2023. The front doors at 1608 Genesee need to be refinished to protect and preserve this historical, original feature of the building. A generous grant from Oneida County will cover most of the project, but we need your help to raise the remaining funds.
